We agree with tiie editor of the Mail, that Eufeula’s police force “is not yet what in should he.” But we would say, don’t rush matters. Give ’em time. This ex- Tiib Cincinnati Sun says the republi can ticket of 188-1 is afflicted with soften ing of the tail, atid will not last till 1888. The Somerville Journal evidently un derstands human nature. It says that nothing delights the ungodly more than to hear the minister’s son swear. In these days of extravagance it is a good tiling to have some one to look after the interest of the government. United Stales Treasurer Jordan is praised for having thoroughly mastered and sys tematized the business of his oflice. He is credited with having reduced the cost of handling the silver coin two-thirds. Tub Alabama state election will be held on Monday next. The democratic ticket will lie elected,but there is a signifl- cauce about thin election which should not he overlooked. The vote polled in each county on Monday will bo made a basis for representation in the next state convention, as well as for congressional and other conventions, (o be held within the next two vears. , Otja St. lxnii- contemporary, the Re publican, bus been doing a little figuring and finds in them something appalling. Just think of it. It is estimated that I e losses by fire in (lie United States are $100,000,000 a year. Tins is a pretty large sum, but if dwindles away beside the amount which the prohibition orators tell us is expended every yeifr for whisky, beer and tobacco—$<100,0<10,000. I’ut the two together, and multiply them by 70, and we have an idea of how awfully rieli we would become in a single lifetime, if we would stop drink ing, chewing and smoking, and keep our bouses from taking tire. Tub Pittsburg Dispatch makes a good point when it says Mint “the attitude of the anarchist element shows that they are not only ignorant of the nature of a free and stable government, hut also ig norant of the obligation* of gratitude resting on one who is given a political refuge. Orsini ajid men of his class, when they laid attained a sanctuary in England, knew enough to abstain from attacking English law and order. The anarchists of to-day, who have found po litical safety in iliD country, not only do no' know tlie language and nature of free government, but they do not know enough to keep from burning down their own .sanctuurv.” “Why did not Primus Jones send his ‘tirsl bale’ to Suvnnmill ? Was he afriiiil of our critical cotton exchange 1 If It was rcul cotton he need have no four, but if it wits green, uumutnred stuff, he showed his sense in sending it to At lanta. 11 it is probable that the Savannah Times does not intend to do Georgia, and par ticularly Mr. Jones, an injustice and in jury in the above unneeeessary fling, but it does just the same. Simply the fact that Air. Junes dtd not see proper to ship tho first hale to Savannah is no excuse for the Times to attempt to leave the im pression that one of tiie most enterpris ing and energetic farmers in tiie state is a fraud and that the first bate is a hum bug. If we remember correctly Mr. Jones did not sutler from the “critical cotton exchange" last year. llEu.umiNii the purpose of the Ed munds civil service bill, Col, Bradley B. Smalley, of Vermont, speculates thus: “M\ idea about it is that Senator Ed munds lias been discounting tiie future. Ho probably sees that the democrats have excellent opportunities of carrying the United States senate at an early day. The margin there is very slender. We are sure to elect democrats to succeed Mahone and Harrison in Virginia and Indiana. The cards are stacked on them. In five other states we have fighting chances, that is. New York, Now Jersey, Connecticut, Michigan and Califor nia. That is bringing tilings down to a fine point, when three or four changes are now all that are required to change the complexion of the senate. Now, if this bill should be passed, with the next senate democratic and the presi dent a republican, do you not see where the republican advantage would be? If botli president and the senate are repub lican no harm is done tiie republicans. If Cleveland is re-elected and tiie demo crats control the senate, Mr. Edmunds may think the president’s conservatism better for republicans than if they were nt the mercy of the democratic senate. That is all that I can see in this bill.” Montgomery left after imparting the cheering information to lirodheek that he would return and flnsih the job. Mr. Montgomery did exactly right, and it is to lie hoped that lie will return and whip Brodbeck again. The editors and re porters all over the land will stick up to Mr. Montgomery in the course ho is per suing. Tho paper hud attacked Mont gomery and he was hungry for blood. What was the use of his going into the hack room or up stairs to llnd an editor to whip? There was none in the world. And Mr. Montgomery, like a sensible mail, proceeded to take satisfaction out of the book-keeper. We trust that the authorities will not arrest Montgomery for assault or inter fere with him in any way. He has es tablished a valuable precedent. Ignorant people Who are slandered by a news paper, entertain the old-fashioned idea that tiie editor is responsible and go for him with a club or a gun. None hut the ignorant do it, however. Intelligent, well-informed people know who com mitted tho offence anil they take it out of the book-keeper's hide, as they ought to. When a man has been wronged by a publication in a newspaper, the course to persue is this: Go to the front office and if it is summer time lookout for a man behind the counter •who is in his shirt sleeves and lias a pen behind his ear. Collar him at once and ask him what in the nation he wrote that article about you for. lie will begin to make out lie is surprised, and tell you that he never saw the article and doesn’t write for t he paper, hut keeps the books in the' business office. This little story sometimes saves him from people who are not posted. If he is the bookkeeper it stands to reason that lie is thoroughly posted on the business of the house, and what is going on in tiie paper every day. In fact it is well known that whatever the editors and reporters put in the paper is only copied from the bookkeeper’s book where lie wrote it himself. The bookkeeper is responsible for all the slanders that are being published on our best citizens every day. And when he wrecks a good man’s reputation he dances and whistles all over his office and slaps his hands to his sides like a rooster’s wings and crows and goes out and takes a drink. The whipping or killing of a few book-keepers incur newspaper oflieeswill bring about a healthier state of allairs, and teach them that u good name is not to lie wantonly destroyed by their unscrupu lous and gull-dipped pens. Why is, it tlint these book-keepers are continually libelling some innocent and respected manor woman, in spite of the protests of the editors and reporters in Die idlice? We are unable to account for it. But it is a great and growing evil and demands the severest measures for its suppression. It lias actually got so that a man can’t make way with a few dollars entrusted to him, or maltreat his family a little, or get tight after business hours and be hauled up before the mayor without one of these bookkeeepers in the front office of a newspaper getting hold of it and writing it up ami exaggerating it and publishing it to tlie world. If there is no law to stop such carryings on, why wo haven’t the heart to blame people when they take the law into their own hands. of this affair and take courage. When they see a twelve-year-old colored boy violating an ordinance, let them sail in and attempt to arrest him. If they per ish, they will perish gloriously, and a grateful country will keep their graves green, if it has to paint them. IT IS SOT Tilt CASK. The Montgomery Dispatch,in speaking of politics in this state, uses the following language: “Politics in Georgia are as rotten as in Ohio. If all that Is charged by the leading men and papers of that state be true.” This statement is drawn out by the re markable letter written by Major A. O. Bacon after ids defeat as a gubernatorial candidate. There is truth in what the Dispatch says, if a few politicians and a few papers constitute “the leading men and papers of the state.” But is this true? We can count upon the fingers of one hand all the papers of consequence that charged the gubernatorial candidates with such acts as those calculated to lead to the condition of things indicated by the Dispatch. Many papers bitterly op posed the nomination of Gen. Gordon and a fewer number that Major Bacon, but it was a' limited few that indulged in such vituper-! at ion as to lead to the conclusion of rot tenness in Georgia politics. It is only ; the disgruntled who take stock in any : such charges. The talk about contend- j ■iiig for a principle in the late contest is; tiie bosliiest kind of bosh and it is en- j gaged in by those only who desire to let themselves down easy. But taking it for grafted that General Gordon did not represent a principle by which honesty in state affairs is to be ob tained and that Major Bacon did as con strued by these men and papers, it is no reflection upon the people, but a severe one upon Major Bacon that lie should meet with such a disastrous defeat. The unanimity with which the people have declared their preference for Gen. Gordon shows that if it was the influence of a combination that secured the nomination, that combination was made up of the people of Georgia from the seaboord to the mountains. the luxury. The Ohio State Journal say* the time has c ine, in the contest between Kelfer and Ken nedy in the eighth district, to remember that there is a future. They ate trying no-- to persuade the president into a visit to the Adirondacks. “Everything wil! he laid at his feet if he will only come," say tiie hotel men. T;::. cal! for the anti-saloon conference at Chi cugo gives the following good and sufficient rea son t ir it: T he very existence of the party is at stake. That it is now losing at both ends of the line, and gaining nowhere is admitted by all, and R needs no argument to show tliat the current must in some way be changed, or a long series of disa-- :rs, If not ultimate ruin, are inevitable.

Murat Halstead is convinced that independ ent journalism was overdone in tiie Cincinnati C nnmercial years ago. He asks to be judged by his record in the republican party. If there is no j objection, the independent part of his record will be stricken out.

A Warlike Fluent r Orleans Times-Democrat. Last evening knots of people were gath ered in front of the St. Charles Hotel anrl post office, where was posted tiie fol lowing, written in a bold hand: FREEMEN, AWAKE! RISE FROM.YOUR SLUMBER. Will you stand idle whilst Mexico keeps an American rotting in a dungeon? Does this government protect its citizeuns? Let the people assemble on Thursday evening, at Clay Statue, to voice American .senti ment." Let every freeman respond. Committee of Americans. The placard attracted considerable at tention. and is was learned similar ones had been posted in other places. The Cost of illuming a Locomotive. “How much does it cost to run a loco motive?” said a railroad man. “Well, more than you would think. If a locomo tive was started out on a one hundred of 1 mile run and you were asked what the n i cost would be to the company, the chances are that you would say about $10. But it costs a little more than 20 cents a mile to run a locomotive on an average. Nearly S cents ot this is for fuel, 7+ cents for pay of engineer and fireman, a half cent for oil ana waste, and more than 4} cents for re airs. A ton of coal will run a locomotive i in of oil 11 miles.” A Model Hu-haiuL An old-time citizen of Palmer, Mass., had a perfect virago for a wife, but managed to live with her amicably. Being asked once how he did it, he replied : “I have no trouble. When she says ‘yes,’ I say yes. When she says it is cold, I say, ‘Yes, mother, it is cold.’ Often she woke me up on dark and stormy nights, and would say: ‘Just see how bright the moon and stars are.’ I always said ‘yes.’ She would then turn over perfectly satis fied, go to sleep, and be happy.” A Rather Important Issae. There is to be a pretty important issue before the people of the United States in the course of the two years just ahead. It is whether the Standard Oil Company is to nominate the candidates of both parties for president and vice-president of the United States.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. GOOD ENDORSERS.

As the Mail man was en route, to supper last night he met officer Brown with a colored boy about twelve years old “in tow,” charged with throw ing rocks at a small white boy. Eufaula can con gratulate herself upon her increased police facil ities, but it is not what it should be.—Eufaula Mail. The Eufaula Mail is right. The city is to tie congratulated on the reckless pluck of her gallant police. "When Officer Brown gets out of a job let him cc u.e to Columbus and we will be proud of him on our force.
